Verdict

Nusra was having her 30th career start when losing her maiden tag over this trip at Ffos Las but is still on a fair mark. Walnut Beach has been placed in seven of his last eight starts on the Flat and over fences and the conditions should bring his stamina into play. Bright N Shine has yet to win and has changed stables though would have to be considered if acting on the ground. Fair Damsel's best run came under Colin Keane at Thurles last October and the champion rides again despite his stable having TORTURED SOUL (NAP) in the line-up. He may not have been able to do the weight on the lightly-raced maiden who caught the eye in no uncertain terms at Navan and has more scope than any of these.
